Cordelia's Dad is a folk punk band from Northampton, Massachusetts, that combines folk and punk rock influences and was instrumental in the creation of the genre later to be dubbed "No Depression".[citation needed] The band formed in 1987 and was active until 1998, when the members relocated to different parts of the country. After releasing an album of older material in 2002 the band reunited in 2007 for their twentieth anniversary.
